I'd suggest the creation fee be lowered, and that instead of a set fee for awarding the medal, allow the corp to set the fee when the medal is created. The cost would be listed in a seperate field of the medal description. That way, it allows for a wide variety of medals across different "tiers", and other corps can see exactly how much a medal was valued by the creating corp.

Decorations should mean something.
You shouldn't have Noob Chars being able to walk around with full "Fruit Salads".
Maybe break it down to how the real Military does it.
Awards and Medals, and maybe some other types.
Awards are cheap and are only Ribbons, for things such as Campains.
Medals are expensive, for individual Decorations, such as most kills during a Campain or the greatest save.
Maybe even have multiple levels of Medals, some a lot more expensive than others.
Such as Valor "V" attachemts, and some others.
Just some ideas.
I strongly support the idea of ribbons and medals, and with different tiers of costs depending on the medal design.
For example, a corporation may want to create a simple "Campaign" ribbon to award all veterans of a war. This would not be a high-cost ribbon to design (25m) or award (1m each), but would have some meaning for everyone involved.
In that campaign, they may award a Tier 1 "Bronze Medal of Valor" to 25 pilots that showed great tactical thinking etc... This would be a simple medal (not just a ribbon), and would have a higher cost to award (20m each).
They may also have people who get a tier 2 "Silver Medal of Valor" (50m to award), or a tier 3 "Medal of Honor" (250m to award).
By having different tiers of medals/ribbons with associated costs and ornamentation, it allows a much more robust medal system and gives corporation more tools to differentiate their awards.
